An unexpected inheritance for Miss Percy

An inheritance changes the course of Miss Mildred Percy’s life when it includes an egg that hatches into a dragon—an astonishing prospect in an England that has never seen one. The story pairs the practical challenge of raising a creature that should not exist with two other departures from Mildred’s accustomed role: a romance with a vicar and an adventure she had long stopped expecting. Its central contrast is between a life defined by quiet restraint and the unfamiliar possibilities opened by the dragon’s arrival, bringing domestic responsibility, romance, and fantasy together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy fantasy involving dragons and legendary creatures.
  • Readers interested in romance alongside an adventure premise.
  • Readers drawn to stories about a woman’s life taking an unexpected turn.

Book overview

Miss Mildred Percy inherits a dragon.

Ah, but we've already got ahead of ourselves...

Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon's egg.

The egg - as eggs are wont to do - decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of "spinster and general wallflower" and into the unprecedented position of "spinster and keeper of dragons."

But England has not seen a dragon since... well, ever. And now Mildred must contend with raising a dragon (that should not exist), kindling a romance (with a humble vicar), and embarking on an adventure she never thought could be hers for the taking.
